Guest guest Posted May 22, 2000 Report Share Posted May 22, 2000 I have 6 kids four of which live with us full time. I started having symtoms after I had the youngest. Things were hard and I spent alot of time doing it myself as was transfering alot. My second oldest son helped alot and still does. I wouldn't let it stop you. This is what I would do. Just revolve your life around the baby scedule. Sleep when they do or at least lay down and rest. Clean and cook when they are awake. You'd be surprised all you can do with one of those cuddles that hold the baby to your chest. I have also seen studies that say you go into remission during pregnancy and while breast feeding. I think if your Dh wants a child he would be more then willing to help out and that would be great. I think that anything you want bad enough is acieveable if you are stubborn enough. You could always do a trial run. Do like the high school kids have to do. Carry around a sack of flour with you for a month and feed it every two hrs around the clock and see how you respond.
